Saddleback Park

Saturday, December 23, 2023

Other Names

Orange County, Irvine Ranch Natual Landmarks, Saddleback Wilderness

Last Known StatusVariable Schedule  (hiking trails are open during select days)

We received a few e-mails asking about the status of Saddleback Park, so some research was done and this is what we found. During the 70's and early 80's, this was one of the most prominent motocross tracks around and was the place for upcoming racers. Jeff Ward, Bob Hannah and Roger DeCoster are just one of the many who made their name here.

The property featured two motocross tracks, hill climbs, BMX and dirt track, soap derby box track and some desert trails but closed sometime during the summer of 1984. Very little of the track remains due urban sprawl and ongoing development but the land is now under new ownership by OC Parks which has hiking trails that cross several parts of the track. Currently the trails are open for non-motorized use and reservations are required which can be made online. There are plans to have a more firm schedule that will have designated hours when the trails are open for hiking.

Glen Helen, Perris Raceway, Lake Elsinore, and Cahuilla Creek are nearby tracks that are still open for practice. This listing will remain up for historical and informational purposes only.
